(Alexandra Gavillet)

The Australian boy band has announced a release date for their newest tune.

It has been nearly two years since these four released a single, but they are back. 5 Seconds of Summer has announced that their latest single “Want You Back” will be dropping February 23.

It was only on Monday when 5SOS posted a photo on Instagram announcing the title of their new song with its accompanying release date that fans worldwide received the hint.

Along with this new single release, 5SOS has also announced that they will be going on tour this spring. After 18 months of touring for their sophomore album Sounds Good Feels Good, the boys have been working on their new album in Los Angeles, which is expected to be released later this year through Capitol Records.

Their upcoming tour, 5SOS3, will kick off in Stockholm in Debaser Strand on March 20. The tour includes a total of 26 venues that include New York City’s Irving Plaza (April 12) and Belasco Theater in Los Angeles (April 25).

Tickets will go on sale to the general public Saturday, March 3 at 10am local time at LiveNation.com and also the Live Nation app. 5SOS fans can register now through Tuesday February 27 at 10pm ET for free access to the Ticketmaster Verified Fan presale, which allows loyal and vetted fans to purchase tickets for U.S. and Canada dates before the general public from Friday, March 2 at 10am local time through 10pm local time.

“Finally…  It’s been 3 years since our last album and we are so ready to share new music with the world,” 5SOS told fans. “After spending the last 5 years on the road since the age of 16, it was important we took time to reflect as individuals and now we’re coming back stronger and more unified than ever.  These songs mean the world to us and we have held nothing back in writing and recording this album.  We’ve been rehearsing a lot of the new songs live and can’t wait to get back out on tour to connect with our incredible fans.”
